What's Steemit. A Quick Explanation To Kindred Steemers.

Okay Guys and Gals. Steemit is exploding!

Individuals are making a huge number of dollars and in case you're perusing this, I'm willing to wager that you need to be a piece of this staggering new group as well.

In any case, (and it's a major however) it's super muddled and can be befuddling as all damnation!

Well dread not my kindred trying Steemers. I'll separate everything for you.

What's more, I won't get excessively specialized in light of the fact that I'm not a specialist.

Be that as it may, I can give you the easiest rendition of everything that you have to know to begin!

What is Steemit?

Steemit is an informal organization that looks and capacities a great deal like Reddit, however with one HUGE contrast:

Steemit pays both the substance designers when their work gets upvoted, and the general population who clergyman the best substance on the site by upvoting others work.

This is conceivable in light of the fact that the Steemit stage is based over another sort of computerized cash. (Think Bitcoin, which is another sort of advanced cash that has been around for some time.)

Consistently, new units of the cash are made by the system and conveyed to its clients, who can trade these computerized cash units for genuine cash.

What's more, it doesn't cost a dime to begin.

You can make a Steemit client represent free, at this moment, and be distributing your substance specifically to the webpage inside minutes utilizing Steemit's worked in blogging/distributing instruments.

In case you're incredulous now, I get it. I was as well.

Be that as it may, it's unquestionably the genuine article.

So we should make a plunge. I'll demonstrate to you how everything functions.

How does Steemit function?

In some ways, Steemit is like other advanced monetary standards. For instance, Steemit money units can be exchanged, purchased, and sold on the open market simply like the majority of the other computerized monetary standards.

With different digital forms of money like Bitcoin, the real cash units that are made every day are circulated to the general population who run an extraordinary bitcoin programming program on their PCs that play out a procedure called Bitcoin Mining. The measure of figuring influence you have directs how much cash you get.

Steemit takes into consideration cash mining also, however it's not the essential method to procure cash. Consistently, new Steemit cash units that are made by the system and circulated to the general population who draw in with the site. The more you draw in, the more you get.

Individuals who make content are compensated for their substance. Individuals who upvote content are remunerated for serving to clergyman the best substance accessible on the site. Analysts who add to the dialogs are paid as well.

The 3 Steemit Currency Units:

The principal thing you have to comprehend is that there are three various types of Steemit money units.

We have Steem, Steem Power, and

Steem Dollars.

Befuddling right? It was for me. In any case, it will all bode well in a moment.

Steem:

Steem are the units that are purchased and sold for genuine cash on the open markets. You can exchange them as you would bitcoins or an organization's stock.

However, you would prefer not to clutch these for a really long time since more Steem Units are made each and every day. In the event that you clutch Steem Units for quite a while, they will wind up weakened and lose esteem.

Steem Power:

Owning Steem Power Units is basically similar to making a long haul interest in the cash since you can't offer Steem Power Units for a long time. However, there are a considerable measure of good motivations to have Steem Power.

By keeping your cash as Steem Power Units, you will have the capacity to profit over the long haul since you basically have possession in the system. As the system develops, so will your bit of the pie.

Furthermore, you'll be vigorously remunerated en route. The way things are set up now, 90% of the new Steem Currency that is produced each and every day is circulated to the general population who as of now hold Steem Power Units as extra Steem Units. (The other 10% goes to content makers and keepers).

Half of the compensation you get for your substance will be in Steem Power Units.

Additionally, the more Steem Power Units you have, the more your curation vote will tally. You will have more effect on the site and you will likewise get paid more to upvoting other individuals' work. (When you upvote somebody's work, they will get paid more too.)

Steem Power Units additionally play one last and essential part. They forestall gigantic value swings and unpredictability on the open markets. Since everybody is secured for a long time, we can't all offer our money at the same time if the market begins to plunge, which would crash the cost were it to happen.

Steem Dollars:

Steem Dollars are the third and last type of the cash and never get weakened or lose their esteem. They are intended to be a steady money that you can offer whenever. When you make well known substance, half of your compensation will be in Steem Dollars.

Also, you'll be compensated for holding Steem dollars as well. It's not so much as the prizes for holding Steem Power. But since despite everything it keeps the cash in the system, holding Steem Dollars pays 10% premium.

When you gain Steem Dollars for making content, you have three options:

1) You can change over the Steem Dollars to Steem and offer it quickly on the open market for genuine cash, basically getting the money for out.

2) You can hold the Steem Dollars, which keeps the cash in the system and pays you 10% premium. You can offer them whenever. In the event that you figure the esteem will go up and need to offer eventually sooner rather than later, this is your best alternative.

3) You can trade your Steem Dollars for Steem Power. In the event that you need to put resources into the fate of the money and receive the greatest benefits, this is the best approach to do it.

How are the recently made Steem circulated every day?

Consistently 90% of the new Steem units are compensated to the general population who hold Steem Power Units.

10% of the new Steem units are paid to content makers, guardians, and analysts.

When you make content that really procures cash, half is paid to you in Steem Dollar Units that can be traded for genuine cash immediately (or changed over into Steem Power). The other half is paid in Steem Power. The Steem Power Units are bolted up for a long time.

The most effective method to money out your income:

When you begin acquiring Steem and you need to really money out, what do you do?

Well fortunate for you, a few different Steemers have made fabulous aides for doing only that. So as opposed to go all specialized on you, I will pass you along to the general population who can clarify it superior to anything I can.

Presently you've been paid in steem dollars a What would it be a good idea for you to do?

BlockTrades includes bolster for specifically purchasing/offering Steem.

Why you should begin now:

The short answer is that you don't have anything to lose. It is 100% allowed to join and you can really get paid for your work!

Unless you are an expert essayist, you're not going to locate this sort of activity anyplace else.

Additionally, Steemit is developing at an unstable pace! Many new clients are running in each and every day. Also, despite the fact that it's just been around for a couple of months, it's now turned out to be one of the main five computerized monetary standards as far as market capitalization.

Over the most recent 24 hours alone, the estimation of a Steem has expanded a mind bowing 277%!!!

Keep in mind, Bitcoins were essentially useless at an opportune time, yet are currently worth near $700. You have the chance to get in on the ground floor of another money without spending a penny, yet in addition to be a piece of a mind boggling new interpersonal organization.

The most effective method to begin:

First of all, you have to setup your record. You should utilize your Facebook record or Reddit account as you do this to check that you are who you say you are. Your record will be extremely important so make a point to set a protected secret word.

Get out there and begin making!

Don't Be Too Quick In Judging Celebrities With Crashed Marriages - Saint Obi Tells Nigerians

Veteran Nollywood actor, Saint Obi has pleaded with Nigerians not to be too quick in judging celebrities whose marriages have crashed.

According to the actor, Nigerians should not be too quick to judge their crashed marriages because they won’t understand the dynamics that operate in their homes.

The actor, in a recent interview with New Telegraph, made the statement while reacting to the cases which result to crashed marriages among celebrities.

He said: "Firstly, I must say that violence is not good. But sometimes, when it comes to issues about crashed marriages and stuffs like that, what I always say is that ‘don’t be too quick to judge’, because until you get married, I know you are, you won’t understand the dynamics that operate in homes.

'What works for Mr ‘A’ or Miss ‘A’ may not work for Mr ‘B’ and Miss ‘B’. So, things lead to things; but my advice is that rather than become violent, maybe you walk away or maybe give each other some space.'

'Sometimes some artistes push the other to the extreme, I say sometimes, not always. So, it is just the ability for one to understand when he is being pushed overboard, and control that urge to go overboard because some people can be terrible, and some people can be nice.'

'So, I will never advise anybody to be violent no matter the situation; but some people push people to the extreme,' he said.

Identity Crisis Looms As Linguists Identify 400 Distinct Languages In Nigeria

About 400 distinct languages in Nigeria have been
identified by linguists. Almost three quarters of
these languages are found on the Jos Plateau,
Southern Zaria of Kaduna State, Bauchi and
Adamawa hills and upper Benue River Valley as
well as the Cross River valley and Middle Niger
River valley.
The area so described approximates the Middle
Belt region of Nigeria. This is the region of
Nigeria’s ethnic minorities. There are of course
ethnic minorities in the Southern part of Nigeria
especially in the so-called South-south region.
Apart from these minorities who together constitute
substantial component of Nigeria are the so-called
majority groups like the Igbo, Hausa, and Yoruba.
This group were regarded as the tripodal
foundation on which the Nigerian house stood. The
federal architectural design for the Nigerian house
was built on the fact of this triune nature of
Nigeria.
For a long time this was the accepted reality until
the so-called minorities in the three regions even
before the exit of the British began to agitate for
their own home rule or for special institutions to
be created to facilitate their quick economic and
educational development.
The Action Group of Chief Obafemi Awolowo was
the first to recognize the potency of this ethnic
force by embracing the creation of states as the
party’s strategy of winning power at the centre.
Chief Awolowo recognized that the only way he
could come to power was through a coalition of
the various minority groups presumably under the
leadership of his largely Yoruba party. The
constitutional angle to this strategy was fiscal
federalism, meaning a loose federation in which
each federating unit managed its financial
resources but contributing enough to the centre to
run common services like defence, aviation,
communication, transportation and currency and
no more.
The other two main parties, the NCNC (National
Council of Nigerian Citizens) led by Dr Nnamdi
Azikiwe and the NPC (Northern People’s Congress)
led by Alhaji Ahmadu Bello were opposed to
creation of states for their own strategic reasons.
Ahmadu Bello did not want the North, his base of
power split. Azikiwe for the same reason wanted
the East to remain undivided.
He also was opposed to the federal structure of
government preferring a unitary constitution as a
way of overcoming ethnic divisions in Nigeria.
Even though Awolowo and Ahmadu Bello were
ideological enemies, they however were staunch
supporters of fiscal federalism.
Federalism was of course more realistic and
Awolowo and Ahmadu Bello wanted control of the
agricultural wealth of their regions whereas Azikiwe
who led the agriculturally poor Eastern Region
wanted Unitarian structure so that the East could
benefit from a collective pool of the national
wealth.
This was the political setting that took us to
independence in 1960. The story of how the
northern and the eastern political forces combined
to finish off Awolowo and to send him to jail
exploiting the division in the Action Group is well
known.
During the Action Group crisis and the weakening
of the Western Region, the Mid-west Region was
created in 1963 from the West while unlike what
Awolowo advocated which was, contemporaneous
creation of state’s in the three regions, the
remaining regions remained intact.
The civil war gave Awolowo opportunity to see the
creation of states as part of the strategy of winning
the civil war and perhaps to realize his long held
view on state creation. Thus the 12 states
structure under Yakubu Gowon gave the minorities
in the Eastern Region and in the North something
to fight and to die for. Unfortunately, instead of
keeping this 12 states structure, each succeeding
military ruler has further divided the country into
small and unviable states arbitrarily and without
rhyme or reason and sometimes to satisfy the
desires of those in power.
We now have 774 local government areas and 36
states not counting Abuja which is a state but not
in name. The result of this is that almost 80
percent of national resources are used in
administrative costs of payment of salaries and
allowances and humongous payment of federal
legislators. There is no money left to maintain
nationwide infrastructure of roads, rail, and other
infrastructure such as ports, air ports and other
means of communication and aviation.
Money so spent on administration would have
provided jobs for our teeming population of youths
who have now been mobilized into ethnic armies
and movements by charlatans looking for what to
eat. School dropouts are issuing statements on
behalf of nations like the Yoruba, Igbo and Hausa
while responsible people for fear for their lives are
keeping quiet.
There is nothing wrong in being patriotic and
embracing one’s ethnicity but not to the extent of
hating and denigrating fellow countrymen and
women. It is my considered opinion that it is the
dwindling opportunities for employment that is
fuelling the ethnic fissiparous tendencies in the
country. It is idle hands that the devil finds work
for.
It is the frustration that nothing is working and
nobody is trying to find solutions to pressing
problems that is making people to go back to their
ethnic comfort zones. The question is where are
the Nigerians and how do we build a country we
can all call our own? Karl Marx is right when he
said economics is at the basis of all relationship.
You are a good father when you can provide for
your family. A country is worth dying for when that
country can provide for you and for your
descendants. We all want to live and provide for
ourselves in a country which has a future for our
families. In the absence of this, we look for
alternatives. The lack of opportunities and the level
of poverty in the land is driving us to the edge of
the precipice.
Looking at Nigeria in historic perspectives shows
us that we are not as different from each other as
we think. Going from the South-west, the Yoruba
has always shared historical ties with the Nupe,
Borgawa,, Kanuri, Igalla, the pre-Fulani Gobirawa in
the north and the Edo in the south. The Edo had
historical relations with the Igbo in the western
periphery of their land. The Edo have some
relations with the Nupe just as Igalla have with the
Nupe.
The entire Benue valley was influenced by the
Jukun. Sometimes Jukun influence spread to the
Hausa states. Hausa land looked eastwards to the
Kanuri for enlightenment. In other words there
were chains connecting all our people in the
distant past before the advent of British
colonialism. We may be speaking different
languages today but most of the languages spoken
in Nigeria belong to the Kwa group of the Niger-
Congo family of languages.
The material culture of the Nigerian area as seen in
the Nok, Ife, Ugbo Ukwu, Benin, Idah, and Bida
leaves no doubt about the cultural sameness and
uniformity of the Nigerian area before the advent of
the British. The concentration of unique African
culture of dance, song, cuisine, couture and
civilizations in the area at the central Atlantic and
at the trigger of the African continent imposes
some kind of mission on this area in the
leadership of the African people.
If all this is true, why then do we have the
problems of forging a nation out of the multitude of
tongues it has pleased the Almighty to endow us
with?
What we need to do is re-engineering of the
country to make it workable. The centre is too
strong. We must devolve power to the regions
whatever the number of them we collectively agree
to have. We must free the resources of this country
from over-administration and channel them to
physical development and industrialization so as to
create jobs for our people.
We must embrace the principle and practice of
fiscal and cooperative federalism. If people have
jobs and they can fully realize their potentialities, it
will not matter to them who is president or prime
minister. In any case, the arena of politics should
be shifted to the regions while the centre will
simply manage affairs collectively assigned to it.
We spend too much time on politics and little time
for development. It is not so in serious countries
like Japan, Germany and Canada to mention a few.
Whatever we finally agree to do in this country, we
must realize that the forces and facts of history
and geography have made it impossible for us to
separate.
We cannot change our neighbours so it is futile to
be talking about separation.
If we are not happy about our current political
structure, we must agree to reconfigure it and this
must not be done by threats and blackmail. We are
and remain Nigerians.

Nigeria can’t afford another bloodshed – Obasanjo

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo, on Tuesday declared that Nigeria has had enough bloodshed and sacrifice.

Obasanjo’s remark is coming at a time when there has been calls from various groups across the country calling for the breakup of the nation.

Speaking at a public presentation of the book written by Haruna Yahaya and titled, “The First Regular Combatant: Brigadier General Zakariya Maimalari,” in Abuja, Obasanjo said Nigeria needs peace and progress at this point in time.

The former President also said effort should be taken to root out political “aberration” from the military.

He said easing out officers who have the assistance of political office holders will prevent Nigeria from another war.

Obasanjo lamented that political influence in the Army had led to the killings of well-trained officers in the Army, who would have been useful to the country.

Lamenting the coup of 1966 that led to the death of Maimalari, Obasanjo eulogized the late soldier whom he said was very particular about the welfare of his men during the Congo peacekeeping mission.

He said, “Maimalari was a man who was very interested in the welfare of his men during a peacekeeping mission in Congo, a situation that led to him having issues with some few. He was a soldier’s soldier.

“If Maimalari had lived to head the Nigerian Army, to the best of my own knowledge, Nigeria would have been better for it.

“Lesson to be learnt from Maimalari’s death- this country had had trained officers who would have been of benefit to this country, but cut out at the prime of their lives, and our lesson should be that this should never happen again.

“To stop the sort of thing that took the life of Maimalari prematurely, all those assisted by political office holders should be eased out of Army so we can have an Army that will be completely free from political aberration.

“And since 1999, I think we have got it right, let us hope that we have got it right and learn the right lessons. Nigeria has had enough bloodshed, sacrifices and Nigeria deserves peace, unity and progress.

And may be the sacrifices of the like of Brigadier General Maimalari be sufficient to give this country peace, development, unity and progress.
